Wolf Teeth 🦷
Is your horse soon to be backed? Are you worried about bitting problems due to the presence of wolf teeth? Struggling to get contact?
Wolf tooth extraction is a common preventative procedure where the small tooth which sits in front your horses’ pre-molars is removed. This is normally conducted prior to backing to ensure a smooth and pain free training process. It can also be conducted if the tooth is abnormally positioned or unerupted within the mouth causing discomfort and pain.
In many cases wolf teeth do not cause problems within the mouth and horses can be backed and have a normal working life without removal.
